Nov. 23 — Waste Management Inc. is launching what the company is calling a Diversion and Recycling Tracking tool to help measure green performance during construction, renovation or demolition projects.

Dubbed DART, the online service is available across the United States and Canada, the company said. DART monitors construction and demolition debris recycling, tabulates diversion rates and provides documentation to support Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design green building certification.

“Success is only meaningful if it can be measured,” said Jim Halter, vice president of construction solutions for Waste Management. “With the DART tool, contractors and architects can really zero in on what they are diverting and where there is opportunity to improve. We are not just tracking performance for the present, but also setting benchmarks to be surpassed in the future.”
